Tunisian footballers often play in the best and most famous leagues in Europe. However, there are some less fortunate players. For instance, Tunisian striker, Dino Maamria, 31, has become the local hero of British club Stevenage Borough, which plays in the Conference League, i.e. the non professional league in England. Dino and his team mates were close to realize their dream late last season as they reached the playoffs games, which could lead them into the professional league. Despite two vital goals by Maamria, Stevenage missed the promotion ticket. Despite this huge disappointment the Tunisian striker has agreed new terms with the aim of winning promotion next season.
It should be mentioned that in the past Maamria played in Charleston Battery (USA), and joined his current club in 2003/4 season
